Amazing 12 Guinness World Records
The Guinness Book of Records is the biggest-selling copyrighted book of all time, according to Publisher, Young, with 92 million books sold since 1955. But when it was first imagined, it wasn’t even going to be for sale. The book was the brainchild of Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director of the Guinness Brewery in Ireland.
